Job Description:

L3Harris Aeromet in Tulsa, OK is seeking a skilled and motivated Systems Specialty Engineer to join our L3Harris Systems Engineering team. As a core member of the Systems Engineering team, you will be responsible for establishing and executing the reliability, availability, and maintainability (RAM) program, procedures, and databases on an airborne system.

Essential Functions:

• Understands failure modes and mechanisms at a physical level (e.g., mechanical, electrical, thermal, optical), and at the software level (i.e., Built-in-Test (BIT), interfaces, etc…).
• Reviews Fault Isolation (FI) and troubleshooting procedures for thoroughness and accuracy.
• Supports/Leads the FMEAs/FMECAs (Failure Mode Effects Analysis / Failure Modes Effects and Criticality Analysis) meetings to ensure real-world failures are captured and mitigated within the FMEA/FMECA.
• Calculates observed reliability and MTBF to tie back in with other reliability predictions and models (e.g., RBD, FTA).
• Leads the Maintainability analysis throughout the design and development of the aircraft and mission systems, including Mean Time to Repair (MTTR) and Level or Repair Analysis (LORA).
• Calculates Built-in-Test (BIT) Fault Detection Rate (FDR), Fault Isolation Rate (FIR), and False Alarm Rate (FAR) to support Testability analysis.
• Collaborated with Software Development team for Design for Test with Built-in-Test (BIT) / Built-in-Test Equipment (BITE).
• Promotes a culture of Reliability Centered Maintenance (RCM), implements Predictive Maintenance (PdM) processes, and recommends both logistical and engineering opportunities to improve long-term sustainability of the systems through a mission readiness lens.
• C Contributes to the ongoing oversight of scheduled / corrective maintenance procedures, recommended spare parts lists, and tools and test equipment lists through FRACAS trends.
• Participates in safety analyses, including Human Machine Interface (HMI) and other Human Factors design principles, as it relates to mission operation and success.
• Competency with Integrated Product Support (IPS) / Integrated Logistics Support (ILS) principals to continue provisioning practices and recommendations for a fielded aircraft and mission system to promote high levels of operational availability (Ao).
• Collaborates with the Program Team to prevent and/or mitigate component obsolescence issues via DMSMS (Diminishing Manufacturing Sources and Material Shortages), including supporting parts and component selection for new product design efforts in close collaboration with design engineers.
• Collaborates with Risk Management to issue or support risks based on predicted and observed reliability data and trends.
• Creates professional, data-driven presentations for briefing technical decisions or recommendations both to internal stakeholders and external vendors/customers.
• Set the highest ethical standards for self and others.
• Perform other duties as assigned.
• Ability to obtain and maintain a secret clearance

Qualifications:

In lieu of a degree, minimum of 10 years of prior related experience.

Preferred Additional Skills:

• Ability to productively use desktop software applications such as MS Office Tools (e.g., Outlook, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Visio) and related software tools, is required.
• Ability to work effectively and efficiently in a virtual environment with tools such as MS Teams, Atlassian Jira, etc.
• Proficiency in advanced Excel methods (data structures, pivot tables, manipulation, transformation and visualization) is highly preferred.
• Experience in data mining using business tools, SQL, PowerBI, Tableau, Alteryx, or similar data visualization tool
• Knowledge and experience in advanced Optical Systems, EO/IR Sensors, or ISR applications.
• Ability to obtain a flight physical.
• Possesses understanding and use of reliability software tools (e.g., ReliaSoft, Relex (PTC Windchill), Reylence).
• Statistical analysis experience using software tools such as MiniTab, JMP, R, MatLab, or similar.
• Technical understanding of electronic components / computer hardware concepts.
• Technical understanding of troubleshooting complex failure modes which include the interactions between software and hardware.
• Ability to interpret and work in a Model Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) environment to understand the system design and contribute to system modeling in Cameo.
